The integrated compiler of the Turbo Pascal environment allows the execution of a completed program independent of the developed environment and with greater execution speed, in comparison with LOGO. Conversion table of turtle-graphic commands for the two languages is presented. (Author/YP)

Explains what a computer programing language is in general, the differences between machine language, assembler languages, and high-level languages, and the functions of compilers and interpreters. High-level languages mentioned in the article are: BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, PILOT, LOGO, LISP, and SMALLTALK. (EAO)

An invitational meeting was held to consider computer-assisted instruction. Topics discussed included the BBM (Bolt, Beranek, Newman, Inc.) Mathematics program and programing languages, such as, Coursewriter, AUTHOR (Automatically Translating Heuristically Organized Routines), and PLATO/CATO (Programed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations/PLATO…

Discusses the nature of programing languages, considering the features of BASIC, LOGO, PASCAL, COBOL, FORTH, APL, and LISP. Also discusses machine/assembly codes, the operation of a compiler, and trends in the evolution of programing languages (including interest in notational systems called object-oriented languages).

In 1885, John H. Hickcox published a catalog that alerted the public to the availability of recent federal government publications; this catalog immediately preceded establishment of a government-published catalog, of which he was appointed the first compiler. Hickcox's work history included writing, editing, and cataloging positions. (AEF)

Arguing that the compiler of "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations" has ignored statements by conservative philosophers, "Policy Review" offers a sampling of 250 conservative quotations from 68 celebrities and world leaders from the past 50 years that ought to be considered for Bartlett's seventeenth edition.

Describes features of Bliss Bibliographic Classification (BC2) that make it thesaurus-compatible and a source for thesaurus compilers: facet analysis, terminology source, thesaural relationship source, and updating ease. Problems with using BC2 as a thesaurus source are also considered, and two thesauri based on BC2 are described. (MBR)

To make computing power broadly available and truly friendly, both soft and hard meshing and synchronization problems will have to be solved. Possible solutions and research related to these problems are discussed. Topics considered include compilers, parallelism, networks, distributed sensors, dataflow, CEDAR system (using dataflow principles),…

In an introduction the compiler discusses the field of Asian-American studies and describes his methods. The bibliography is divided into 14 subject areas. It covers scholarly and popular books and articles, biography, fiction, juvenile fiction, poetry, news items, guidebooks, and documents on every aspect of Asian-American life. (DM)

All materials in this 800-item bibliography are listed by year of publication and are categorized under each year's listing by: books, periodicals, newspapers, pamphlets, booklets, and reports. The compilation represents part of the research work done in a study of the feasibility of the extended school year in Sough Carolina. (Compiler/EA)

The author argues that the importance of primary health care, with emphasis on preventive aspects of care, requires a socioeconomic and health survey of each community and that the nurse-epidemiologist would be the most effective compiler of such surveys. (MF) Baganda in Uganda was interviewed concerning perceptions of loneliness and social…

Geological field trip guidebooks, developed for use during a field trip or field conference, are considered ephemeral publications by their compilers and publishers. Too few copies are printed and little attention is paid to bibliographic format and information. These difficulties are discussed and recommendations are made to alleviate the…

The lecture notes of two courses in Systems Programing, given by Professor Niklaus Wirth in 1965 and 1966 at Stanford University, are reproduced. Overall subjects covered with the theme of general systems programing include: assemblers, interpreters, input-output programing, supervisory programs (monitors), an introduction to compilers, phrase…

These five lists form an annotated bibliography of instructional materials for use in teaching French, classified according to the age and level of instruction for which they were intended. Each list treats a separate category of materials. There is a title index, as well as an index of authors, editors, compilers, and adaptors, with each list.…

This bibliography cites and summarizes theoretically grounded reports of research and discussions of central issues in second and foreign language writing and writing instruction that have become available to its compilers during the period of December 1, 1994 through March 31, 1995. The categories used represent an attempt to aid readers, not to…
